AbstractBrief abstract written by HRAF anthropologists who have done the subject indexing for the document
Terada and Onuki report on their excavations and findings from the sites of Huacaloma and Layzón in Peru. The Huacaloma site was occupied from the Early Huacaloma through the Middle Cajamarca Periods and the Layzoón site was mostly occupied from the Late Huacaloma through the Layzón Periods. How they excavated and the levels and the stratigraphy they found are reported in great detail along with the architecture and the artifacts. Also described are the human remains found and the pollen and faunal remains collected. The report contains numerous drawings and photographs of the excavation levels, the constructions found within the excavation levels such as walls, platforms, and staircases, the ceramics, and the other artifacts. Most of the architecture described was part of a temple mound or platform although the authors do not refer to it as such until the conclusions. Only the data that pertains to the Early Huacaloma, Late Huacaloma, and Layzón Periods (or 3500 B.P. to 2200 B.P.) were marked for OCM (Outline of Cultural Materials ) codes.
